How many times can you re-drill your skis? I have a pair that have been drilled twice, do I drill them again?

3 times is about the maximum, also depends on what kind of condition the skis are in prior to the third drill.

They're in OK condition, about a mm deep gash in the side. What do you think?

Granted I'm looking at pictures online, but they look fine to me. Also, whatever shop you take them to to get mounted will most likely give you a firm yes or no.

It depends on where you are re-drilling and how close the holes are. I mean if you are going to have four holes side by side on the outside of the binding, you are much more likely to snap the ski than if you have four separated holes underneath the binding.

Theyve only been drilled once for those bindings. They are adjustable in the heel so ive never needed them re-drilled. If you have any other questions, i can answer them to the best of my knowledge.

You can Re-Drill a ski as many times as you would like. Be aware that you wont be able to be picky about the mounting position of the ski.

Yeah YOU can, a shop may refuse to go beyond 3. But OP if you can recycle any existing holes that's probly ideal. If you can't oh well, like people have said in this thread you can probably put 50 more holes in your skis and be fine.
